It's tempting.
I work in media.
It's a fast-paced environment.
I'm often being e-mailed by or called by media, but you want to spend time
with the people that are right in front of you.
And while I think most people understand that there are situations in which you may have
to step aside or step out of the room, by and large, you should really try to focus
on the task at hand and that's the individual that's right there with you in person.
And so, for me it's a matter of respect.
And it's a matter of making sure that you are honoring that person's time.
